| Will Bush next contemplate bombing Al Franken? |
| The British government denied Tuesday that a leaked memorandum at the heart of a contentious trial contained a threat by President Bush to bomb Al Jazeera, the Arabic television station.
The government had previously withheld substantive comment on a report in The Daily Mirror last year that the memo said Mr. Bush made the threat in a private conversation with Prime Minister Tony Blair at the White House in April 2004 - a time when American commanders in Iraq were publicly critical of Al Jazeera's coverage of the war. The Daily Mirror reported that Mr. Blair had dissuaded Mr. Bush from bombing the Qatar headquarters of Al Jazeera.
